Excellent location for walkers/birders
We enjoyed our stay very much; the staff were soo friendly and helpful. Reception printed off our return boarding passes (TAP have short check-in windows). Restaurant is very good too; room was spacious but bathroom needed central heating; hot water supply little erratic some mornings..... On the plus side, we saw the plans for the modernisation and renovation works to be started in 2014 so are looking forward to the "new look" and extra facilities on our next visit......

In the middle of Nowhere
We had visited the adjoining Rainforest Cafe a couple of years ago and really enjoyed the food so decided to use the hotel this year. It's in a beautifully isolated location, perfect for walkers, nature lovers and besotted couples. Unfortunately despite the prior booking and very low temperatures the heater in our room had not be put on and it took hours to warm up. The staff were working in jumpers and fleeces and the (again) excellent food in the restaurant was served with us huddled beside a mobile gas fire which came in handy to defrost the red wine. The hotel building is showing some signs of damp problems but the friendly staff did their best with Christmas decorations, etc. Yes, we'll go back again but not in winter.

We were very pleased with our room and hotel. We did not have a plug for our washbasin and asked for one twice but never got one. Apart from that we would definitely use the hotel again.

Hotel Pico da Urze Madeira
The hotel was "in the middle of nowhere" and maybe because of the time of our stay (mid. March 2012) shop was not open at all, bar next door was only open during day, no evening program. Pasta at the dinner was overcooked, but breakfast was very good with pancaces and omelets was the guest ordered. The cows wandering free outside the hotel was very amusing, weather was half sunny and half cloudy. Don´t expect lots of temperatures: it was mornings about +2 The location was good for Risco and walking paths No cleaning of the room secong day, don´t know if we should have separately ordered for that.

Friendliest most professional staff I've met!
From the moment we were collected from the airport by the hotel's owner Mr Bras, we were informed that our enjoyment was his priority. He lived up to this promise in every way. A spectacular hotel on top of a mountain surrounded by splendid scenery and walks. Two restaurants in the hotel which both served fantastic well priced meals. The chef (Paulo) in the grill even cooked special vegetarian meals for my partner which allowed me to eat at the grill more often. His skewered Portuguese sausagesa are to die for! The barman (Eduardo) invented the most wonderful cocktails. We have never stayed in a more welcoming hotel and there is not enough space here to review this hotel adequately. An excellent hotel run by an extemely professional team and managed by people who actually care about the 'guest'. Thank you

Hôtel situé loin de tout.Si on n'a pas de voiture,on est isolé de tout.La capitale est à 55 km et il n'y a aucun transport en commun.Le taxi coûte 70 euros pour un aller simple.Les propriétaires et le personnel sont très gentils et prêts à vous aider en cas de problème.Le restaurant est de très bonne qualité.Les chambres sont nettoyées tous les jours.La nuit,il fait très froid.

unvergessliches Highlight für Naturliebhaber
4 Sterne im Nirgendwo der Berge auf 1400m Meereshöhe, super Service, Dschungelambiente im Speiseraum mit lebensechten tropischen Kautschuktieren im Blätterdickicht, auf Knopfdruck startet Urwald-Geräuschkulisse, Elefant, Boa usw. bewegen sich. Für Familien sehr zu empfehlen. Gehobener Service. Wandern in alle Richtungen möglich, Ziele an Küste in 10 bis 22 km Entfernung gut erreichbar. Straße und Anbindung für Madeira sehr gut. Ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt.

Dommage que la décoration du restaurant soit aussi laide. Plantes, fleurs et arbres artificiels qui descendent du plafond et couvrent la totalité de la salle. De ce fait la salle est trop sombre, froide. Heureusement que le petit-déjeuner est pris dans une autre salle.

Dignité et solitude de la steppe de Paul da serra
hotel de la montagne ! stué au milieu de Paul da Serra, une zone marégageuse à 1300 m d'altitude !!! 30 minutes EN VOITURE de calheta DONC PAS DUTOUT PRES DE LA MER !!!!! Personnel sympa mais hôtel glacial en février avec des T° proche de 0° Pour Paul da serra, on déteste ou on adore ! C'est pas le genre de coin à touriste standard: à réserver au amateur de solidtude et de nature sauvage !!!

hotel à 1300 m d'altitude et non en bord de plage
Attention l'hotel est à 20 km de la mer à 1300 m d'altitude, la publicité est mensongere il n'est pas en bord de mer. A l'arrivée temperature ext 6° chambre non chauffée. restaurant non chauffé et non approvisionné, chaque fois que vous commandez un plat il n'y en a pas! Le premier restau à proximité est à 15 km soit 30 minutes de route de montagne Pour un séjour de 5 nuits nous sommes repartis après 2 nuits. Le personnel travaille habillé en anorak....Les parties communes ne sont jamais chauffées, dans le salon la cheminée est décorative.

séjour agréable dans un décors verdoyant
Hotel très agréable et confortable avec une vue splendide. N'étant jamais venu à Madère je ne me suis pas rendu compte de l'emplacement de cet hotel en altitude nécessitant obligatoirement d'un véhicule pour descendre dans quelque se soit le village. Je recommanderai cet hotel tout particulièrement à la fin du printemps, en été jusqu'en début hiver . très bel endroit et fonctionnel pour le départ en randonnées approximité de toutes les "levadas". Panorama magnifique.

Le désert de tartares !
Hôtel très particulier, situé sur le plateau de Paul da Serra à 1300 mètres d'altitude donc très froid en Février ! De plus, peu de chauffage dans les chambres et pas dans les parties communes: glacial ! Le dernier jour, il y avait du verglas sur la route de l'hôtel et les températures étaient négatives sur Paul da Serra !! Par ailleur, RIEN autour de l'hôtel, pas de commerce pas de resto: obligation de rejoindre Arco de caletha sur la côte pour changer du resto de l'hôtel: 1300 m de dénivelé en 18 Km ! Le toboggan !! Le personnels est sympa et attentionné. Hôtel à prendre pour son calme et pour ceux qui aiment la solitude austére de Paul da serra !

Das Hotel ist ideal für Ruhesuchende
Die Lage des Hotels kann man getrost als "einsam" bezeichnen- es ist kilometerweit rundherum einfach nichts von Menschenhand geschaffenes vorhanden, außer den Straßen die hin-und weg führen. Das Zimmer war einfach, aber angenehm. Wir haben im ersten Stock gewohnt, wo Zimmer und Balkon eine gute Größe haben und für einen längeren Aufenthalt gut geeignet waren, bei uns waren es drei Wochen. Es gibt im 2. Stock noch deutlich kleinere Zimmer und Balkone, die sicher mehr für Durchreisende geeignet scheinen. Der Service, das Frühstück und die gesamte Atmosphäre waren sehr schön und wir haben uns rundherum wohlgefühlt. Allerdings ist es definitiv nichts für Leute, die sich gern schnell mal ins Gewühl begeben wollen- um überhaupt an einen nur etwas belebteren Ort zu gelangen, muß man mindestens 30 Minuten mit dem Auto fahren. Einzige Ausnahme sind die zwei Restaurants am Hotel, in denen es gutes Essen gibt, das allerdings vergleichsweise teuer war. An manchen Wochentagen war Live-Musik im regionalen Stil. Wir empfehlen es gern und werden selber wieder hinfahren.

Hotel Pica da Urze, quiet and in the clouds
This was our first visit to Madeira, and we wanted to have a non-tourist experience but with some level of comfort. The hotel is quite out of the way in the middle of the western side of the island. It is not close to the usual urban amenities or the usual tourist traps so did meet our criteria fully. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with excellent customer service skills. The cafe and restaurant staff was also very sweet and extremely attentive and quick to help, and the food in the restaurant is fresh and cooked to perfection. We have fond memories of a spontaneous evening with some locals and their visiting Venezuelan and Cuban family! A fun time was had by all. I would suggest this hotel for its professional staff, cleanliness, very good kitchen and overall excellent service!

madere est une ile magnifique.ile volcanique offrant des heures de balades sur des sentiers securises.preferer les mois d'avril et de mai pour un sejour.il est imperatif d'avoir une voiture pour voir tous les sites.il est tres facile de louer une voiture a la reservation ou directement a l'acceuil de l'aeroport.possibilite d'acheter la franchise pour 90 euros.le circuit routier est parfait sur les grands axes et un peu plus difficile sur les axes secondaires.l'hotel pico da urze est situe a l'ouest de l'ile sur le plateau paul da serra.compter 30 minutes de Canhas a l'hotel.le site est magnifique et a proximite de sites pour effectuer de superbes balades.en resume un hotel un peu isole au calme mais un service au top.
